大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 44.80

44.80

In the Commentary, from "Second, the contaminated five aggregates" onwards, there are five parts: First, explaining the collective name, which has already appeared in [the chapter] "Illumination and Awakening." What is cited regarding "storing results" from the Abhidharmasamuccayavyākhyā refers to the second treatise. Its meaning of "storing results" is broadly the same as the meaning of "aggregate" (skandha), and "heavy burden" is broadly the same as the meaning of "obscuring/concealing" (yin). However, that treatise says: "What is the meaning of aggregate? Answer: Whatever material form there may be, whether near or far, all of that in brief is because of the meaning of accumulation into an aggregate of material form. Just as an aggregate of wealth and goods, and so on up to the aggregate of consciousness." Exposition: This is precisely the meaning of storing results—it aggregates and stores the resultant dharmas such as material form. Regarding "heavy burden," the treatise says: "Because it bears the burden of affliction, it is called an aggregate, just like the shoulder bearing a burden. 'Bearing the burden of affliction' means that the afflictive dharmas such as defilements all depend on material form and the rest. Just as in the world, one part of the body can carry a burden, and this one part is called a shoulder and called an aggregate. Material form and the rest are also like this: they can bear defilements, therefore they are called aggregates."
